IMPORTANT Hospital Information: If you are going to the hospital, please speak to the receptionist at the church and let them know when you will be admitted and what hospital you are going to. It would also be very helpful if we knew your room number. Federal Privacy Regulation – HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), prohibits all hospitals from informing churches of a patient’s presence unless the patient gives permission for the hospital to do so. IMPORTANTE: Si vas a estar hospitalizado, notifica en la oficina de nuestra iglesia , en qué hospital vas a estar. Ayudaría además, que posteriormente nos indiques el nú-mero de la habitación. La Regulación Federal de la Privacidad – HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), prohíbe a los hospitales dar información de pacientes ,a menos que el paciente lo autorize.

Beloved, the OUR CATHOLIC APPEAL (OCA) COMMITMENT WEEK-END 2019 comes up next weekend, February 16/17th . Its theme is:

“Blessed are you.” Thank you for your wonderful participation and generous support for OCA 2018. It was the best Catholic Appeal result since the inception of our parish. To God be the glory! May God reward each of you and your families abundantly for your generosity, through Christ our Lord. Amen. Please, as we launch the OCA 2019, with immense sense of gratitude, I humbly invite you to kindly continue to sustain the momentum. At no other time in our parish history is the OCA more important to

us, especially with the present reduced scale of our annual Heritage Festival. With no more ride companies interested in signing up, the rides which accounted for a huge turnout and higher outcome is gone. The OCA overage helps to offset our resultant budgetary challenges. Through your generosity at the OCA 2018, among other things, the overage has helped us to enhance our Safe Environment for the protection of children and vulnerable adults and against theft by professionally installing video surveillance on our campus. Here is a SUMMARY of OUR CATECHESIS so far, on our beautiful marble statues – “Our Lady of Grace” and “St. Joseph the foster father of Jesus” and other sacred images and sacramental objects. We have seen from the Bible that God can heal and save through a molded object (cf. Num 21:8-9), meet and speak with you through a molded object (cf. Exod 25:18, 22) and that God’s “Shekinah” [indwelling or abiding] glory can fill the temple or “church” King Solomon (cf. 2Chro 7:1) decorated with numerous regular statues and pictures (cf. 1Kgs 6:29, 32, 35; 1Kgs 7:29). Clearly, any opinion out there that every statue is a god or an idol like “the molten calf” (Exod 32:4, 8) and should be rejected IS NOT from the Bible. The Bible clearly shows only images and representations of “other gods” (Exod 2:3) like Baal, Zeus, Hermes, Asherah, Dagon are condemned in the Bible (cf. Exodos 20:2-5). BIBLE VERSE OF THE WEEK: “O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?” (Gal 3:1). Clearly, St. Paul indicates the Early Christians had public statue or pictorial representations of Christ’s crucifixion. [To be continued]. Desde el Escritorio del Pastor Amados, el próximo fin de semana, el 16 y 17 de febrero, llegará el FIN DE SEMANA DEL COMPROMISO DE NUESTRO LLAMADO CATÓLICO (OCA) 2019. Su tema es: “Bendito seas.” Gracias por su maravillosa participación y generoso apoyo para OCA 2018. Fue el mejor resultado de la Campaña Católica desde el inicio de nuestra parroquia. ¡A Dios sea la gloria! Que Dios recompense a cada uno de ustedes y a sus familias abundantemente por su generosidad, a través de Cristo nuestro Señor. Amén. Por favor, mientras lanzamos la OCA 2019, con un inmenso sentido de gratitud, les invito humildemente a que continúen amablemente manteniendo la promoción. En ningún otro momento de la historia de nuestra parroquia es la OCA más importante para nosotros, especialmente con la actual escala reducida de nuestro anual Festival DE PATRIMONIO. Ya que no hay más compañías de caravanas interesadas en inscribirse, las compañías que representaron una gran participación y un mayor resultado se han ido. El excedente de OCA ayuda a compensar nuestros desafíos presupuestarios resultantes. A través de su generosidad en OCA 2018, entre otras cosas, el excedente nos ha ayudado a mejorar nuestro Ambiente Seguro para la protección de niños y adultos vulnerables y contra el robo mediante la instalación profesional de video de vigilancia en nuestra iglesia. Aquí hay un RESUMEN de NUESTRA CATEQUESIS hasta ahora, en nuestras hermosas estatuas de mármol – “Nuestra Señora de la Gracia” y “San José el Padre adoptivo de Jesús” y otras imágenes sagradas y objetos sacramentales. Hemos visto en la Biblia que Dios puede sanar y salvar a través de un objeto moldeado (cf. Núm 21:8-9), reunirse y hablar con usted a través de un objeto moldeado (cf. Éxod 25:18, 22) y que la Shekinah” [morada o permanencia] gloria de Dios puede llenar el templo o “iglesia” el rey Salomón (cf. 2Cro 7:1) decorado con numerosas estatuas y cuadros regulares (cf. 1Kgs 6:29, 32, 35; 1Kgs 7:29) . Claramente, cualquier opinión de que cada estatua es un dios o un ídolo como “el becerro fundido” (Éxod 32: 4, 8) y debe rechazarse NO ES de la Biblia. La Biblia muestra claramente solo imágenes y representaciones de “otros dioses” (Éxod 2:3) como Baal, Júpiter, Mercurio, Asera, Dagón están condenados en la Biblia (cf. Éxod 20:2-5). VERSO BÍBLICO DE LA SEMANA: “¡Oh, Gálatas insensatos! ¿Quién los ha fascinado a ustedes, ante cuyos ojos Jesucristo fue presentado públicamente como crucificado?” (Gal 3:1). Claramente, San Pablo indica que los primeros cristianos tenían unas estatuas públicas o representaciones pictóricas de la crucifixión de Cristo. [Continuará].

Our Lady of Lourdes is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated in honour of the Marian apparitions that reportedly occurred in 1858 in the vicinity of Lourdes in France. The first of these is the apparition of 11 February 1858, when 14-year old Bernadette Soubirous told her mother that a "lady" spoke to her in the cave of Massabielle (a kilometre and a half (1 mi) from the town) while she was gathering firewood with her sister and a friend. Similar apparitions of the "Lady" were reported on seventeen occasions that year, until the climax revelation of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception took place.

GOD’S SUMMONS Confronted with God’s power and majes-ty, the first response of the prophet Isaiah was to acknowledge his sinfulness. “Woe is me, I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips,” he said aloud. Likewise, with his empty fishing nets dramati-cally filled at Jesus’ instruction, Peter fell to his knees and cried out, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.” Next, Peter got up. He docked his boats then left to follow Jesus. Isaiah also had a dramatic change of heart. When he heard the Lord say, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” Isaiah answered, “Here I am, send me.” We are summoned daily by the Risen Lord. We are reminded of the saving power of the gospel and know in our heart of hearts that, as St. Paul wrote, believing in anything else won’t lead to anything. What will it take for you to move past your sinfulness? What will it take for you to get off your knees? What will it take for you to bring to dock what is unimportant and to accept your call to be God’s messenger? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EL LLAMADO DE DIOS Al ser confrontado con el poder y la majestad de Dios, la primera respuesta del profeta Isaías es recono-cer su pecado. “Ay de mí, estoy perdido porque soy un hombre de labios impuros”, dice en voz alta. De la mis-ma manera, con las redes de pesca repentinamente llenas con la orden de Jesús, Pedro cae de rodillas y clama: “Señor, apártate de mí porque soy un pecador”. Después Pedro se levanta, deja atracado su bote y sigue a Jesús. Isaías también experimentó un cambio impresionante. Cuando escuchó al Señor que decía: “¿A quién voy a enviar? ¿Quién irá por nosotros?”, Isaías respondió: “Aquí estoy, envíame”. Somos llamados diariamente por el Señor resucita-do. Se nos recuerda del poder salvador del Evangelio y sabemos de corazón que, como escribió san Pablo, creer en otra cosa no nos llevará a ningún lado. ¿Qué se necesita para que dejes el pecado? ¿Qué se necesita para que caigas de rodillas? ¿Qué se necesita para que dejes lo que no es importante y aceptes el lla-mado de ser mensajero de Dios?
